Old Mary’s is my new favourite cocktail bar. This spooky underground cavern is rumoured to be haunted by the ghost of Old Mary… one thing is for sure – the cocktails are supernaturally good.
We were lucky enough to have the main barman at our disposal and as we sat at the cosy bar he conjured up a range of cocktails from a much-anticipated new experimental menu.
First we tried the luminous green ‘Rackety Flashpool’ made with a lump of candyfloss and ornamented with flame-toasted marshmallows, it was too good to sip and was gone within a few minutes. The ‘Blasting Burning Blizzard Flame’ was just as delicious, made with an impressive fire flame show of cognac, Bourbon and black spiced rum, and flavoured with a cinnamon stick. The second “secret” round of cocktails was just as exciting but what the ingredients were I cannot tell you!
Hotdogs and antipasto boards are available for hungry guests needing something to nibble on while they sip their drinks. I can’t wait to return to Old Mary’s and try more of their incredible cocktails – who knows, maybe a ‘TMM’ cocktail will make it onto the menu soon.
